d are guaranteed to leave the crowds begging for more thanks to their unique blend of Rock'n'roll, Blues, and Country the formidable presence of vocalist Bryn, we are all humbled by his turbulence, Mr. 'Mad Dog' himself, Davies.

As well as regular appearances at the Isle Of Man T.T. and the summer festival circuit the band continue to gain a loyal and growing following at pubs and clubs throughout the UK.

"MAD DOGs current line-up have a revved-up valve-driven 50s rock 'n' roll sound. Frequent guests include Anglin Buttermore who is former Shakin' Stevens' piano player. With more gigs on the continent in the pipeline, the prospects are good for this band.

Profile: Bryn "Mad Dog" Davies

	Vocals & Rhythm Guitar




	Bryn has certainly earned his stripes. From busking on the streets of Paris to playing on major stages around the world. Music is in his blood. In recent years he could be seen playing washboard with Zydecommotion and fronting his own band Mad Dog. Now he is striving to change his vocal style to do justice to his early influences.

I wanted to get back to that 50s/60/s "cafe rockers" rockers, "Wurlitzer", raw country music with a "Bakersfield" sound.

Influences include:

Johnny Cash, Eddie Cochran, Hank Williams, Johnny Burnette & Gene Vincent

Profile: Lee Belsham

Influences include:

Scotty Moore, Cliff Gallup, Carl Perkins & the 'Mersey Sound'

"Lee is the most talented musician I have ever met" (kev)

	Lead Guitar & Lap Steel



	Lee started playing bass with Dr Phibes and since then has guested with numerous bands and appeared at countless festivals in many countries. In 2003 he joined Mad Dog as the harmonica player and now, as guitarist, shares center stage with Bryn achieving an authentic rock'n'roll sound that others can only envy.

Profile: Kev "Legs" Walker

	Bass & Backing Vocals



	Kev came into the music scene a bit later than the others. He started out as the major songwriter with the cult band Cellar Hedz and joined Mad Dog in 2000. He wrote the only original song that the band ever recorded ("Rattlin Your Cage") and still hopes to, one day, come up with the one that means he can retire from the Post Office.

Influences Include:

The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who & Pink Floyd

"I just try to keep time"
